The KiloEx exploit was rooted in a price oracle vulnerability, causing a $7.5 million loss on April 14, 2025. Security firms like Cyvers and SlowMist were crucial in recovery efforts. KiloEx communicated via social media about initiating legal procedures and praised external contributions, highlighting their collaborative approach.

“The legal process to formally close the case is now underway, in coordination with judicial authorities, our legal team, and third-party experts (special thanks to @SlowMist_Team@blitezero, who have extensive experience in such matters).” – KiloEx Official Social Media, KiloEx

In the wake of the breach, the hacker took advantage of the oracle flaw for $3.12 million in a single transaction. Following negotiations, KiloEx retrieved the funds by offering a 10% bounty of approximately $750,000 to the attacker, standard in industry white-hat settlements.

The immediate market response saw KILO’s value drop sharply, affecting investor confidence. As funds were recovered, KILO’s price rebounded, highlighting investor sensitivity to security incidents. The breach impacted trading operations, but partners like Binance Labs remained supportive.

Looking at historical context, KiloEx’s approach aligns with previous decentralized finance recoveries, emphasizing bounty negotiations. The event demonstrates the sector’s adaptive responses to vulnerabilities and the ongoing need for robust security protocols to prevent future breaches.
